didn't seem to be a good idea to learn the european way with brussels business. in the ocracy it's one person one fold but in brussels business it's one euro one fault. north korea going to fund it except for the conduct of that third nuclear test defying a ban from the you are the world body will hold an emergency meeting of the security council later today. please repel yet another attack on the presidential palace in cairo with tear gas and water cannons were given the web chance to meet members of itself with down alec his group taking the lead in the anti regime street protests. as iran holds a new round of talks with atomic inspectors bridport on how a lack of basic medicine the sanctions as many allies of the country hung by its

threat. we're watching all see coming here live from moscow and a very warm welcome to the program and our breaking news story north korea has confirmed carrying out its side on the ground nuclear test it says it was aimed against what it called outrageous u.s. hostility the communist state is already on the reset of international sanctions and had been banned from any atomic activities by the yuan the country had previously carried out to nuclear tests and is believed to possess a small stockpile of nuclear weapons an emergency meeting of the you our security council is to convene later today and journalist eric margolis says pyongyang is simply lashing back at a military pressure on its borders. north korea always react very strongly to what

it calls brother cations. the u.s. either sends what forces there will be deeply every year the u.s. and south korea hold joint military exercises. which are clearly a war games and aimed at attacking north korea and north korea has been almost crushed by the us sanctions more limited nuclear arsenal which we should understand is really designed for defensive purposes this is a hallmark of north korea's national pride in the pennants of north korea's not about to launch a nuclear war against the united states in spite of whatever one reads in the western media it's very important for north korea to conduct another underground test if it wants to have a credible nuclear deterrent force and that that's its objective if you don't test people won't believe that you actually have

a nuclear warhead that you can send there's been a lot of questions about north korea's previous nuclear tests that they have fizzled they have been pretty is full of explosive power so this is the obvious course for north korea once it has perhaps four missiles that can deliver a lightweight were it north korea will will be able to proclaim that it can defend itself and it will feel more secure. and a specialist to be all things for if functions will fail to rein in north korea's nuclear ambitions young can only be appeased. i don't know if anyone in the american in the top elite really thinks so you know we'll and thankfully they say what they claim they think it's really certain no country really changes see under sanctions if the alternative to the us has

been quiet that is worse than the sanctions and that. north korea and sense could could surrender if you could acquiesce to. them arms. but that in fact narrow line is worse than what the americans diluted them was anxious to so they will they will spur severe. severe until they no comes down to the negotiating table. whether that will happen because love matter and that will bring it on this developing story including the russian reaction on the problem later in the program. police in cairo have been trying to repel attacks against the presidential palace with tear gas and water cannons after you've held stones into the ground into its grounds the violence followed a march by thousands of demonstrators who accuse egypt's current leader of

repression and tightening its grip on power the protests took place on the second anniversary of the toppling of positing a bar of iron fist all over the country lasted for three decades later ages public prosecutor orders their arrest of a muslim cleric for saying the leaders of the opposition should be condemned to death and islamic norful calls to overthrow president morsi and while a group calling itself the black bloc is emerging as a strength a force in this street protest movement r.t. had a chance to speak so one of its members. of the black bloc is an idea that came about as a reaction to the negligence of our peaceful demands and also as a reaction against the oppression of the interior ministry which received orders from the regime we stand against the oppressive and tyrant regime we call upon the interior ministry to deliver justice for those who have been killed and we will continue our demands until they are met our actions are in self-defense we are

protecting ourselves but have never attacked anyone we will always be present in egypt even after or demands are met however we will take on a different form the aim behind our presence is to prevent injustice in any form no one listens to our demands and the proof is the number of people who are being killed. and spoke to also and journalists runs hébert who believes there are plenty of reasons for such youth groups to sprout up when the country so a mostly polarized. for the last two years egypt has not been allowed to have a strong central government that is. pushing the political process forward and thus the economy of the country the social cohesion and everything else as a result you have this huge vacuum and this polarization and that is allowing egyptian society to be open for exploitation what has been happening is not exactly a popular unified popular uproar against the addicted bitter but

rather political polarization that has swept through the country for the last two years reaching the point of both sides justifying violence against one another and as it is you have this this increasing number of casualties some of it indeed due to police brutality and group calling itself the blog has a much as a new force and this latest string of clashes do you believe in the peaceful nature behind the intentions of these young men and blind. no not at all there is a possibility that in fact that the are outside those who are trying to brother fuel to the fire that is already. taking over egypt or at least in the urban centers from cairo to boresight it's a phenomenon that i think resulted from the frustration disenfranchisement and just the general feeling of betrayal that the youth of egypt are feeling right now the

issue is not the black bloc in particular but why would they even appeal to the youth of egypt in the first place unless there was that vacuum and there was a deed that was a created by the lack of sensuality and the lack of confidence in the political process in egypt were coming from the government or from the so-called opposition. and returning to our top story now north korea's nuclear test and let's not hear about russia as a reaction to that from this could offer is joining us live from the news room they forced international reaction has been coming thick and fast so what does the foreign ministry have to say that well not only is north korea banned from holding a nuclear test by various international agreements for russia this is a special issue more of national security since the two countries are neighbors in the far east although there's been no official reaction from the foreign ministry just yet russian news agencies are quoting

a source in the foreign ministry which allegedly said that moscow is joining the international community in condemning younglings nuclear test but the reality is it seems north korea has acquired the military nuclear technology which should give it a new status basically obliging the international community to find ways to negotiate this issue. many thanks indeed for that update. our web of shank has shaken the catholic world after. pope benedict announced he would step down from office at the end of the month in the first papal uptick cation in centuries the development followed a series of sex abuse scandals plaguing the catholic church across the globe and barbara doris the child abuse complaint says the outgoing pope has failed to solve the school problem this school problem within the catholic church. we believe that he other words he showed there was filth in the priesthood he apologized to the

victims but he took no action he didn't discipline a single church official for hiding enabling children to predators for you know moving them from country to country from diocese to diocese so until he does that nothing has changed and we believe the words were just empty empty promises if the people be protected these predators are promoted by cardinal law was involved in the scandal was huge and yet cardinal law managed to land in in the vatican on the most powerful committees that exist within the vatican so to the message we believe he sent was if you are unable shield and protected predators you will be rewarded and we don't feel that's the right message we feel that he should be taking action we have a bishop in the united states that was convicted of child endangerment and is still being allowed to run a diocese what kind of a message is that to send to the world i would expect more of the same since those

that enable and shield and protect continue to be promoted to continue to be given the most powerful positions within the vatican the message is clear if you follow the company line if you keep the secrets if you put the reputation of the church above this of the children then you will be promoted what a terrible message to send many people no longer trust church officials like they did in the past and that's a very sad statement that you can't trust your bishops and of course we're always interested in hearing your thoughts so head to our web sites on c dot com to vote on the catholic church's future after pope benedict this extensive made his final bank an appearance at the vatican and let's now have a look at how you have been voting so far so two thirds of you literally don't have any faith in the institution or its leadership little under a cool to say when the white smoke rises above device can and will be benedict who . so gone and forgotten it seems only five percent of you believe this to be

a walk to shed moment a new testament if you like consigning all this candles and i gave the history and while an equal amount believes the catholic church has been caught so on away as of the pope forming on his own his opponents sword it will have absolutely no idea who to replace him with so tell us what she is saying at all. and still to come for you. to have an effect very soon report on how international

his resignation. at least fifteen people most of them soldiers have been killed in a suicide bombing and gun attacks in the northern iraqi city of mosul most of the damage was caused when the car parts with explosives was rammed into a military checkpoint the bombing is thought to be related to the ongoing sectarian conflict in the country with the sunni minority protesting against what they call unfair treatment from the shia led government. barack obama is set to deliver his first state of the union address of his second term with immigration gun control and the troubled economy high on that journey and the president is also expected to touch upon america's foreign policy as the u.s. administration seeks to justify the killing of terrorist suspects including american citizens was drone strikes abroad and human rights lawyer stanley cohen says these targeted assassinations are actually. we're not at war in pakistan we're

not it war in yemen we're not at war in lebannon we're not in war in somalia if you want to clear war if you want to follow international law if you want to make your case you play by the rules the fact of the matter is no matter what you call this it's murder it's assassination it's illegal we're talking about murdering civilians we're talking about attacks by drones in countries that are our allies if there were a person is there that we are want that are wanted american citizens yemenis citizens pakistani citizens somali citizens for crimes here you go to the countries you extradite him you charge him you bring him to trial the united states under international law cannot must not enough to no stretch of the imagination is justified in the use of drones in the execution and the extrajudicial assassination of not just americans of anyone overseas for years we have charged people we have extradited people we've indicted people we've convicted many people charged with

crimes of terrorism and it's worked before but this is an administration which is a namrud with clean murder with clean killing that's what president obama likes and now we're just trying to clean it up further. recent studies in britain suggest the country's most rapidly growing demographic is muslim and the trend staring trouble with native brits has had that governments too scared to face the problems caused by the even gratian the point like i want to invest in. it's what britain is known for a vibrant multicultural society and it looks like u.k. babies are testimony to it in east london seventy seven percent of new mums were born in britain nicoletta is from romania two thousand and seven i have been here when my husband together so. i'm doing let it sit cine recently moved here from sri lanka and really have to. do that more dear.

zahra has three children i was born in bangladesh could do to keisha good living standard of living so here prefer to live in. oversea london has got so ethnically diverse that white britons and now a minority here as well as in three other british cities between the years of two thousand and one and two thousand and eleven nearly four million immigrants came to the u.k. as part of an immigration boom under the former labor government at the time westminster said that britain needed working migrants to propel the economy this is tower hamlets in east london a third of the residents here a bangladeshi in fact they outnumber the white brits in this area by two thousand people so if you want to just say that they're baffled at just how quickly the number of indigenous brits has diminished over the past decade some put it down to

a case of white flight they say that caucasian brits are moving out of the country's most diverse areas there are people in this country who have racist motives who simply don't want people because of the color of their skin. in the city but there are a lot of genuinely decent people who do have concerns and even the labor party has discovered recently that the vast majority of people is right those who would. naturally. vote for the labor party have conserves and that's something that no government can ignore the leader of the opposition labor party recently admitted that his party got it wrong on immigration and to those who lost out we were too quick to say like it's all input the truth is the public were ahead of us in seeing some of the problems of migration because they were seeing them in

their own communities. and they were ahead of us in seeing the costs of migration as a whole poll after poll shows that the people living here i worried about the speed the size of the influx of them to eventually work for my opinion i don't think. between need more immigrants at the moment i do love the movie as a way to hear critics say the government is too frightened to address what person will look like in fifty years time it's going to look like islam about basically it's going to be a complete population change the indigenous population is shrinking anyway the younger generation and the younger muslim generation is becoming increasingly radicalized and i think it's because of the. civil unrest in the middle by twenty twenty five twenty two possibly civil war demographers say that if immigration continues on a similar scale the white british population throughout the country will become

a minority off to twenty sixty six but with less than half of london is already describing themselves as white british some say that a quiet and irreversible revolution has already taken place in britain partly boyko azzi east london. and up next we're told on how household rubbish has become a vital lifeline. some conjurers want oil but that's kid stuff who needs oil when you could secure the world's largest supply of truck. look at the exclusively in sweden and reading

sweden for absolutely no logical. as a possible you say well supreme commander of the swedish armed forces general sphere guru and son must have watched red dawn too many times because he thinks the russians are a common general durance and declared that if invaded by russia sweden wouldn't be able to last a week against the onslaught therefore sweden must immediately join nato he said that currently it is not quite possible to invade sweden but due to the two thousand and eight war with georgia it is possible for russia to somehow push through established european borders bring their forces up to sweden gates putting the generals country in danger but guess what according to your own council of the european union georgia started the war so by that logic if the two thousand and one with georgia is the example of the future then don't kill russian peacekeeping troops and you'll have nothing to worry about but general gore and also made the point that president putin is rearming the russian army hinting at a threat of being heavily armed to defend yourself is

a bad scary thing then joining up with nato seems to be pretty hypocritical if the people of sweden want to join nato well that is their choice but they shouldn't be tricked into having their taxpayers pay for their sons to die in afghanistan based on totally bogus arguments that make no sense but that's just my opinion. is to get rid of. the treasure. we're fighting. and the trap was no way out.

if. a belief.
